Abstract

Congenital or acquired, intraoral or extraoral, traumas or carcinomas are known to produce psychological imbalances in patients with the least expectations of returning to their normal lives. Oral carcinomas are the fifth most common of all. The major goals of rehabilitation are such patients are to restore function, speech, swallowing, and aesthetics. However, there are many limitations in achieving these goals, an obturator prosthesis remains as the first line of choice in these maxillectomy patients.
